The course will focus on
**Peace and Stability in the Age of Militarized AI and
Cyber-conflicts: New Challenges and Risks**
Military powers actively incorporate advanced computing technologies
into their defense systems, from artificial intelligence (AI) warfare
applications to increasingly automated cyber defenses. The 2025 ISODARCO
Summer Course focuses on new risks for peace and stability and related
challenges for international governance that arise from the expanding
militarization of advanced computing technologies.
Within the vast landscape of computing technologies and their military
applications, special attention will be devoted to AI decision-support
systems for command and control, autonomous weapons systems and their
technological precursors, nuclear command and control with its cyber
vulnerabilities, the escalation of cyber hostilities and the related
risk of spillover to other warfare domains, the accelerated pace of
AI-powered warfare and the related challenge of preserving human control
over battlefield operations.
Internationally recognized scholars will address geopolitical,
diplomatic, legal, and ethical implications of risks and challenges
posed by militarized AI and cyber warfare in connection with nuclear
stability and non-proliferation, regional conflicts, the laws of armed
conflict, and international cooperation on arms control and disarmament.
Introductory lectures will provide non-specialists with scientific,
technological, and socioeconomic background information, making this
summer course self-contained and accessible to participants from various
educational experiences and academic qualifications.
